Dispute Summary
F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. (Roche) filed a suit against Cipla Ltd., alleging infringement of its patent for the cancer drug Erlotinib (marketed as Tarceva). The plaintiffs sought permanent injunctions and damages, asserting their exclusive rights under the Patent Act, 1970. However, after considering various issues, including whether the defendant's actions constituted infringement and whether the patent itself was valid, the court ultimately dismissed both the original suit and the counter-claim.
